Though he was wearing a grin at the time his mugshot was taken, it seems likely that the smile disappeared after the Tennessee police officer thought a bit more about the legal trouble he’s facing.

They say there are more than 20,000 federal laws, and that Tennessee and the other 49 states each have thousands more. With an abundance of laws, it is no surprise that there is an abundance of arrests, too.
